With threads like Kiwi & the Avatar Rating Thread are pretty much spam. I know allot of my "posts" are counted from those two threads. The post counting really is for people to have an idea that the person with the higher post counts actually can be helpful with in the website in general.

I know when I am at avsforum.com or the Dell Community Forum checking out the post counts there gives me an idea that the posters have some knowledge on the topics at hand. But then again it doesn't really matter that much. If I like or trust someone's judgment on a topic I will check out their past posts anyways. Doesn't matter how many they have to begin with. It is the Quality over Quanity.

Threads that end up deleted by admins don't count.
This way we're assured they're at least contributing content somewhere.

Maybe posts that are less than 12(?) characters don't count.
Have I started enough threads to deserve my rank? o.O

They are given out by moderators. There is no post number where you get a custom name.

Yep that's me. I don't know what my job is half the time and have no idea what I'm meant to be doing. So I just sit and look at forums to pass the time.

Well, it's Friday, and here I am again posting rather than working. lol

I know I'm not the only person that doesn't work when they're at work. Just imagine what we could do if we all decided to actually work at the same time for an extended period of time.

I've become an expert at stealth. When my boss walks by I use my elite skill "camouflage" and for 30 seconds I appear to be working and my boss buys all my bullsh*t. Sometimes I have to use "camouflage + echo", but that's only when my boss is having menstrual cramps.
